Where we are

Montecarlo is situated on a hill 163 metres above sea level. It is a place, where in a way, time has stood still. Beween remarkable treasures of art one can rediscover the medieval way of life, enjoy the pleasures of the typical cusine of Tuscany, take a taste of the famous "Montecarlo Bianco D.O.C.", The wine which made this place Known all over the world, or one can enter into cultural life: the most charming little theatre "dell'Accademia dei Rassicurati", a splendid architecturial treasure, offers performances at an international level.

Montecarlo houses also other treasures like the "porta Fiorentina", teh "porta nuova" or the "Porta Imperiale". One all these were part of the extensive fortifications. The church "Collegiata di Sant'Andrea (16th century) most centainly warrants a visit. The citadel "Rocca del Cerruglio" was once the central point of the fortifications for the defence of Montecarlo.
